I’m sick of these lawyers that think they know when a player is contesting the ball and think they have another alternative. It’s utter garbage. 
Hunter showed duty of care, if he didn’t Rozee would’ve been sent to next week. 
And the reasoning for the ban to be upheld is complete nonsense. Basically saying he should moved out of the way.

For years they’ve said turn side on and now they’re saying go in front on with your arms out?

Utter nonsense

How’s the third paragraph haha. Can you actually be more out of touch?

Need to appeal regardless otherwise they'll resume normal MO (aginst us).

The AFL are a bunch of bullies towards the clubs that aren't high enough on their favourites list.

Need to show them we arent copping their BS practices anymore and going to take these rubbish calls all the way every time and highlight the biased outcomes.

Keep raising other examples of similar incidents and with different outcomes as precedents and showing up their bias and inconsistencies


The game is at a breaking point and the people in charge are not competent. 

Not surprised by the result. AFL script this stuff, controlling results is in their DNA.

Hunter could benefit from a freshening up. Jordan or Brayshaw will cover him for a week. 
 

Is the tribunal suppose to be impartial? Jeff Gleeson feels like he is running AFL's agenda. 

Why have tribunal? Things get overturned by clerical errors. The blues player getting off cause he punched with a left hand rather than right. Wtf. 

 

Not sure I've got this right. JVR suspension was originally upheld because he was entering the contest too quickly. Hunter's upheld because he should've known his opponent was entering the contest too quickly.

Is that about it?

Time to email the prez.

We dont accept this [censored]

Not prepared to back your players in fair play ?

Not prepared to back YOU !!


The game can longer be umpired or referreed. This is what the AFL has wrought, in the name of speeding the game up for the great Television God. Are they proud of their works? They are killing the game.

There's at least 6 paragraphs of stupidity in the rationale for suspension that gives good ground for appeal I would have thought.

Considering the amount of outs we're likely to have this week, I'll be really disappointed if we don't appeal.

Youre trying to apply reason and logic

The AFL is not about reason and logic.

Its about Power, Control and $$$

I genuinely detest the current MRO / Tribunal system.  The decisions are an insult to the game, and to the intelligence us supporters!  The inconsistencies beggar belief!

It's very consistent with the standard of umpiring. Two peas in a pod 🫛

You and me both.

if I didn’t love the MFC I mean Narm FC I could just about walk away from footy.

This is the start of the end. 

If the suspension stands then the game is well and truly stuffed.

So the MRO [censored] us on Sunday and now they have [censored] us on Tuesday evening. So that is twice this week they have [censored] us.

I hope the club as a collective understands this and appeals regardless.

Need to stand up again as we did with JVR and show them we know it's a 'selective' rigged manufactured outcome depending on player/club in question.

Calm down. It’s a one week suspension. The President has been very good.

If it wasn't raining Rozee "the Olympic diver" wouldn't be sliding on his knees to knock the ball on and make contact with Lachie.

Lachie has stopped dead to bend down side on and collected the ball.

Terrible decision, appeal if a further week isn't risked.

The MFC is getting more action than I ever had.

Everyone knows Gary Pert’s email right? It’s not the size of the suspension, it’s the principle and the boondoggling, favouritism and mind boggling inconsistency

Part of me hopes TAS Labor or the recently-defected Libs put the kybosh on the Hobart stadium. AFL HQ needs taking down a peg. 
 

I wonder if we have some behind the scenes “please explain”’convos going on.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
